The Sims 4 Expansion Packs guide

The Sims 4 has a lot of extra downloadable content, so it can be hard to pick between them. Expansion Packs are the biggest DLC offerings, with the most content, but they also cost the most. Our The Sims 4 Expansion Packs guide will help you sort through and understand what’s in each and show you your buying options.

The Sims 4 Expansion Packs each cost $39.99, though they frequently go on sale. These are different than Game Packs and Stuff Packs, which have new content, but not as much as Expansion Packs have. Expansion Packs usually introduce additional systems to the game, like seasons, the ability to follow your Sim to work, or pets.

We’ve listed out the available Expansion Packs below in order of release, with notable content they add to your game.
